In the process of learning to drive a car, the most difficult thing for both men and women is to learn how to smoothly, gently release the clutch. Not everyone is able to immediately learn how to do it right. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to learn a couple of simple tips.
Instructions
Step 1
It is extremely important at first to learn how to feel the car, and not just automatically perform some jagged actions with your hands and feet. Having understood this, you will soon learn to start moving without jerks, smoothly. There is one exercise you can do to test how smoothly you lower the clutch. To do this, you need to fill a plastic cup with water. Directly by the level of water that remains after you exercise, and it will be possible to determine the degree of smoothness of your clutch lowering.
Step 2
Some newcomers to traction squeezing sometimes have the misconception that the heel should be on the floor. In fact, this is not the case. You need to choose a position where the heel will be in weight. Bend your knee slightly, work with your leg, not your feet. That is, press the clutch pedal fully on the weight, release it to a certain point, and only then put your heel on the floor. Subsequent adjustments are made with the feet.
Step 3
The clutch's own travel is about 2-3 cm relative to the total travel of the clutch pedal. This is why experienced drivers try not to depress the pedal all the way. As a rule, in driving schools, they first teach to get under way and drive without gas. Then - learn to carry out the same operations, but with gas. Thanks to this, in the end, you can learn to release the clutch smoothly, accelerating.
Step 4
The most important thing in the process of starting the movement is to feel the moment of "grasping" of the clutch. You can visually trace this moment on the tachometer. After that, gently press the gas pedal, the car will move, then gradually release the clutch. Practice more, eventually learn to do everything right. Experience plays a huge role here. Do not be nervous, otherwise your actions will be abrupt, which will not give the smooth running of the car.
